I’ve been puppy sitting Lucy, my brothers dog, for a couple days now. And I decided to take her for a walk and do a little bit of exploring. I am going to start running in the mornings, so I needed to scope out my route. Still a puppy, Lucy isn’t very “good” at going for a walk. She wants to run, and smell, and all sorts of things. So it takes a good bit of effort to keep her on a short leash and keep her walking “with” me.

Loops are a workhorse of all programming languagses. And most have an extremely similar syntax. Lets just start from the most basic. The IF statement. The if statement will check aa condition, and if that condition is true, it will execute the code within the if statement. if (1 > 2){ System.out.println(“1 is never greater than 2”); } Nice! Well what do you want to do if that if check is false?

This is a super quick start! If you really want to make some Go programs however, you will need to set up a development enviroment.

Lets dive right in! To star we must first set up our development enviroment. This ranges from basic text editors, to Integrated Development Enviroments, IDE’s. We Will be setting up NetBeans, and IDE designed with Java in mind. First step is downloading the software Go here and download NetBeans and JDK 8, then select your operating system. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Once the download is finished open it. Complete the install, it may take a while.

These buttons control my wireless power outlets! And this blog will tell you how! Supplies: RaspberryPI Micro USB Pouwer supply, 1A or greater recommended. MicroSD card with an up to date Raspbian installed Network connection, wifi dongle or wired connection Console access with SSH or directly with a keyboard and hdmi capable display Set of 433mhz remote power outlets, with a remote 433mhz transmitter and reciever module Breadboard and jumper wires Wire 28awg 30cm(approximately)

This will be my first hugo post. I still need to get some things setup.
